Our Deepest Fear...

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful
beyond measure.
It is our Light, not our Darkness, that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous,
talented, fabulous?
Actually, who are you NOT to be?
You are a child of God. Your playing small
does not serve the World.
There is nothing enlightening about shrinking so that other
people won't feel insecure around you.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is
within us.
It is not just some of us;
it is in everyone.
And as we let our own Light shine, we unconsciously give
other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence
automatically liberates others."
